Guys im in a pickle, i've created some good levels in my time and all i get are 300-500 plays, while people ive never heard of are getting 10,000 plays a day and i've played lbp and lbp2 from the beginning and it's unfair that new comers get their levels on the cool pages for weeks so someone please help me, and i'm not referring to good creators because their deserve it

Luck mostly I would say. If your level somehow features something that many people enjoy it will end up on the cool pages for a little while. I only managed to get a level on the cool pages once so far. That level now has more plays than all my other 14 levels combined...

The system is pretty much the same as the one in LBP1, just with the list format instead. Mm Picks or levels by big creators get it because people constantly play them and scan great creators' levels. I think Mm do come on the site a bit, so if they look in the level showcase and see your levels they might play it and if it's REALLY good they'll Mm Pick it. Or just have a good level. I had a decent entry to LBPC Roast. On LBP1 Part 1 had 800+ plays and it was on the cools. At the end of they day, it's more about creational skill or noobiness. If you have no noobiness but not great skills it's gonna be hard to get on there. Ok?

be happy that you are getting 500 plays i never used to get many plays and it doesnt matter that you're not getting many plays the best creators hardly get any plays. P.S from personal experianced getting loads of plays isn't great you just get random people wanted to add you, message you, and invite you.

it annoys me aswell about the current system, have any of you seen that Dont trust a baby level omg so so so bad and like 10 seconds long but gets loads of plays and yays but the people who actually put time and effort in their creations get nothing just stay unknown.

Yes, cool pages is at an all-new low. As usual. Of course, all the VERY VERY good levels get on the cools. It's a good thing we haz our level showcase.

Eh...I try not to care anymore. I really enjoy creating it's "still" one of my favorite things to do. If you really enjoy creating, how many hearts and plays you get won't matter. Passion provokes perfection, peace, and pins!

Yeah, I had a friend called Lumi_2001 and she got 10,000 plays on her 'Chocolate Paradise' level in LBP1. It wasn't the bestest level ever, bit it still got a lot of plays. So then I knew it was just pure luck. Thats why people who you never heard of get on the cool pages, but some of the levels are great!

You do have a point, but still those people trying add people constantly might be the ones gettings those plays, i think Mm should sort out the online system where the levels created have their own genres, like plaform, shooter, story etc. then everyone would get plays at a fair rate not having the next bomb survival getting 500,000 plays in total. its bizarre!

Whats the point of the level showcase if you put it up there 100 people look at it, and only 4 every queue it or play it?

Yes. Im also little dissapointed by the cool and MM pick sessions. 1 - there are still same levels? In my opinion it should rotate. If the level is there for thwo days - replae it wit the next one. Its good for creators. And for players also. Everytime I go to the Cool, I still see the same levels there. Whats the purpose? 2 - MM picks are even worse. One would expect the man picked levels would be the place to have infinite fun. How many levels were MM picket this week? 3? 4? Are they telling there was not other great level? And if they pick some level, it is usually the one that has already 300 000 plays and is in the first place on the cools. So everybody know about that level. What is the purpose of such category? I would expect them to search in the new levels. And take the really good ones, with 0 plays yet... and mark them as the ones wort playing. Again - it would be good for creators go get noticed quickly. And it would be good for players to have supply of another levels. Not just MM picking the cool ones. I was searching different sections today. And I was really surprised how many P4P empty levels are actually above the very good one wit hamazing a original gameplay. They should rebuild these main filters. And dont be afraid to fiter any level with name that containg three letter string with number 4 in the middle. Plus make faster rotation of the most visible levels. Even if it has plays... jsut put there another promising one.

Gutz: You also have the point. In my opinion the problem is, that the level showcase is atractive for creators. But not so many people is checking it. maybe creating our "PLBC Picks" thread would help. I mean - it would be "moderated by somebody". And if new level is added, he would check it and only if it is good and interesteing level, he would add it to the first post - with link and screenshots (I hate how many people are not including them) Maybe having all level in one place - with at lease some garantee of quality might even bring some playes to regulary check it to queue new level. Because in current situation - your level will fastly dissapear on another pages... and except realy desperate p4p hunter, not many people will spent time searching the archives. Just a thought.

What I don't get is in the rules for Level Showcase it tells you not to ask for Plays and/or Hearts. Just making a thread in Level Showcase is doing exactly that. Even if it's F4F and you follow through with playing all the levels of people that played yours. You are always asking for plays, just by posting here. Plain and simple.

Guys, the point of the level showcase is in the name. You showcase your level(s). It's there so you can get feedback that you can get something from, not 'THIS IS NOOBY' or 'THIS IS STUPID AND A WASTE OF TIME'. People give you a good Pros 'n' Cons review of your level, not for Yays or Boos, but to help you improve. No great creator thinks 'Yep, I'm definately the best in LBP because I have a crown and all my levels are in Mm Picks.' They look to improve and get even better and it's not competitive either, it' friendly. Foofles is a perfect example. He had some of THE greatest in LBP1 and as soon as he gets LBP2, off he goes making even better stuff, and now he's making the first First Person adventure shooters.

The only reason I'm planning on showcasing my upcoming level is so that people can tell me what's WRONG with it, or what I should change. Yeah, it would be nice to get plays once it's finished and published. However, I'm creating the level because I think it's unique and I want other players to ENJOY it and have fun with it. Not only am I creating for myself, but for the enjoyment and pleasure of others. My one level has 17,000+ plays. It's been a nightmare. Fame isn't always good. As far as I can tell, there are no other "good" levels out there featuring what my level is about. So I'm aiming to make some fellow fans of this series happy.
